I am employed!

I am happy to announce that after looking for 5 weeks, I am finally employed. I am doing private duty in-home care. The job is MWF 10-4, T Th 8-2. It is part time for now, but that is okay with me, as it allows me to be home with my kids in the evening. I started yesterday and am enjoying it so far. I respect the family I work for. They are so wonderful and friendly. They are all very caring and willing to help out. The woman I care for is the sweetest thing. I enjoy my time with her so much. Today I went with her son to DaVita Dialysis Center to see the routine for MWF pick-ups after she is done with her dialysis. It was easy enough. For me, the hard part will be getting there alone and not getting lost LOL! She knows the way home. She is a tough cookie and smart as a whip. We get along wonderfully and enjoy each others company. I am hoping after this week (Thurs off) I will get my routine down and feel totally comfortable. I feel good already, as the family is wonderful. I feel welcome, appreciated and respected, which is nice. All of her 4 sons are amazing and caring. I've now met 3 of the 4. I am hoping after next week to get my routine down and be able to get her out of the house once a week to start. Maybe take her for lunch, etc. She gets around good on her crutches, just very slow, which is fine by me. She has a great attitude and gives me the gift of learning to appreciate what I have.
